From the reviews

Expectations beyond exceeded. Highly recommend working with Manali. All of my goals were met and I felt empowered by my work with Manali. She is the BEST!

★★★★★ — Katie, Feb 2025

As a fellow physical therapist, I have a deep appreciation for the level of skill, sensitivity, and clinical reasoning required to treat pelvic floor conditions effectively—and this practice truly stands out. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear that patient comfort and dignity are top priorities.

★★★★★ — Kayla, Apr 2026

I had my first appointment at TriCore and I can't say enough good things about my experience. Manali was absolutely amazing. She took the time to really understand the issues I've been having with my back, and her approach was thoughtful and patient.

★★★★★ — Colleen, Sep 2024

What to expect from your first cupping session

New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
